any cruiseline offer LIMIT hold 'em?

Going to be cruising with Princess in December and was wondering if they offer LIMIT hold 'em on the poker machines or are they all set to play NO-limit? Please advise.

Yes - there is limit hold'em. You need to check with the casino host - I think it depends what people are asking for... I have seen 1-2 and 3-5...I've also seen NL.

I have never seen a limit game. 1-2 limit? how would the ship make any money? they would get maybe 2-3 dollars a hand as opposed to 1-2 NL where they can make 10+.

 

I have never heard of a 3-5 Limit game, 3-6 yes but never 3-5

2-5, my typo...and yes, the limit games happen...or at least they did when I was on the ship.

I think it depends on the cruise and the casino host (what people are asking for). I was on the Carnival Victory in April 2007 and they had an electronic dealer table with 3-6 limit hold'em - a real bummer if you hate limit. We talked to the casino host but, at that time and on that cruise, there was more demand for limit than there was no limit.

 

I have good friends that regularly travel on Princess and they said they only play NL while on the cruise, either 1-2 or 2-5 NL.
